  • Building cooperative learning to address alcohol and other drug abuse in Mpumalanga, South Africa

    Open AccessOladapo Oladeinde, Denny Mabetha et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2020

    There is significant willingness and capacity among community stakeholders to work in partnership with authorities to address priority health concerns. As a process, participation can help to raise and frame issues, which may help to better inform action and encourage shared responsibility. Broader understandings of participation require reference to, and ultimately transfer of power towards, those most directly affected, developing community voi…

  • Enhancing the value of mortality data for health systems

    Open AccessLaith Hussain‐Alkhateeb, Laith Hussain-Alkhateeb et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Half of the world's deaths and their causes pass unrecorded by routine registration systems, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Verbal autopsy (VA) collects information on medical signs, symptoms and circumstances from witnesses of a death that is used to assign likely medical causes. To further contextualise information on mortality, understanding underlying determinants, such as logistics, barriers to service utilisation and heal…

  • Nurturing Global Health Action through its first decade

    Open AccessPeter Bya, Nawi Ng et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    Open AccessMatthew M Coates, Mamusu Kamanda et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2019

    BACKGROUND: Understanding socioeconomic disparities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality can help inform prevention and treatment strategies. OBJECTIVES: To quantify cause-specific mortality rates by socioeconomic status across seven health and demographic surveillance systems (HDSS) in five countries (Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, and Nigeria) in the INDEPTH Network in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: We linked demographic residence data…

  • The effects of maternal and child HIV infection on health equity in Tigray Region, Ethiopia, and the implications for the health system

    Open AccessAtakelti Abraha, Anna Myléus et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2019

    Services that aim to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) can simultaneously reduce the overall impact of HIV infection in a population while also improving maternal and child health outcomes. By taking a health equity perspective, this retrospective case control study aimed to compare the health status of under-5 children born to HIV-positive and HIV-negative mothers in Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Two hundred and thirteen HIV-positive w…

  • Rethinking collaboration

    Open AccessLucia D’ambruoso, Maria van der Merwe et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2019Citada por: 4Referências: 41

    Following 50 years of apartheid, South Africa introduced visionary health policy committing to the right to health as part of a primary health care (PHC) approach. Implementation is seriously challenged, however, in an often-dysfunctional health system with scarce resources and a complex burden of avoidable mortality persists. Our aim was to develop a process generating evidence of practical relevance on implementation processes among people excl…

  • Understanding and acting on the developmental origins of health and disease in Africa would improve health across generations

    Open AccessShane A Norri, Abdallah S Daar et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    Data from many high- and low- or middle-income countries have linked exposures during key developmental periods (in particular pregnancy and infancy) to later health and disease. Africa faces substantial challenges with persisting infectious disease and now burgeoning non-communicable disease.This paper opens the debate to the value of strengthening the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) research focus in Africa to tackle critica…

  • Are health and demographic surveillance system estimates sufficiently generalisable

    Open AccessPhilippe Bocquier, Osman Sankoh et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    Sampling rules do not apply in a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) that covers exhaustively a district-level population and is not meant to be representative of a national population. We highlight the advantages of HDSS data for causal analysis and identify in the literature the principles of conditional generalisation that best apply to HDSS. A probabilistic view on HDSS data is still justified by the need to model complex causal…

  • Integrating community-based verbal autopsy into civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS)

    Open AccessDon De Savigny, Ian Riley et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Reliable and representative cause of death (COD) statistics are essential to inform public health policy, respond to emerging health needs, and document progress towards Sustainable Development Goals. However, less than one-third of deaths worldwide are assigned a cause. Civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems in low- and lower-middle-income countries are failing to provide timely, complete and accurate vital statistics…
